Background

GRIN2B (also known as GluN2B or NMDAR2B) is a member of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor family within the ionotropic glutamate receptor superfamily. NMDA receptors are widely expressed in the central nervous system and play a major role in excitatory synaptic transmission and plasticity (PMID: 23223336). NMDA receptors large multi-subunit complexes arranged into heteromeric assemblies composed of four homologous subunits within a repertoire of over 10 different subunits: eight GluN1 isoforms, four GluN2 subunits (A-D) and two GluN3 subunits (A and B) (PMID: 21395862). Naturally occurring mutations within GRIN2B gene are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, epilepsy, and schizophrenia.
